Second-half woes
After leading the Penticton Lakers 10-7 in the second half of the game, the Salmon Arm Secondary Golds rugby team completely lost momentum. The Lakers scored eight tries in the final 20 minutes of play to dominate the scoreboard. Final score was 59-15 for the Penticton squad.

Eye on new facility
Plans are in progress for the indoor tennis facility, with the rainy spring adding fuel to the desire for a place to play that doesn’t get rained out.
To date, all architectural, civil, mechanical and electrical drawings have been completed and submitted to the City of Salmon Arm for approval. The club is reporting they are on budget for all phases at this stage and are continuing to fundraise. The membership has pledged in excess of $72,000, but they are still nearly $150,000 from the goal.
